it is no secret i am not a big fan of the stimulus. it was a lot of money and a lot of dead and few jobs and the impact was pretty limited. we were told that if we passed it, unemployment would be 6.3% today and that is way off. there are about 6 million jobs short. i continue to feel we were told to take the debt that you will get jobs and we certainly got the dead and that is a drag on our economy on business confidence and family confidence. when you look to the job gains in today's report, one view of the job market is that as laos return to what they were before the recession, the job numbers improved because new hires have increased very little. they are far below what they were before the recession it seems premature to speak of a real job market recovery to begin with and a meager job gains recently are not a surprise. this is the argument that the former council of economic advisers chairman makes and i agree with that. as a look at this report, commissioner, is there a way to distinguish between job gains that result from few
